DeKALB —The story of the Chicago Bears’ season so far has been a replica of last year: an amazing defense and an offense that limps through each game. The defense is third in points allowed, with 12 per-game, according to ESPN. Meanwhile, the offense is tied for second worst in points per-game, averaging only 9.5.
This week is a major opportunity for the Bears’ offense to flip the narrative and give fans hope, as they face a Washington Redskins defense that’s softer than a baby’s bottom. Washington’s defense ranks third-worst in yards allowed per-game with 455 and is tied for second-worst in points allowed per-game with 31.
